Nuevo Vallarta Fishing Report – June 2025: Prime Time for Big Game Fishing
Welcome to your ultimate guide Nuevo Vallarta fishing charters this June! Just north of Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta offers world-class sportfishing with easier access to prime offshore grounds. June marks the beginning of the rainy season (June 15 – October 15), but don’t let the forecast scare you—this is when the fishing turns red-hot. The rains push nutrient-rich water into Banderas Bay, attracting massive schools of baitfish and, in turn, trophy-worthy predators. Whether you’re targeting marlin, dorado, sailfish, or yellowfin tuna, June delivers non-stop action.
Why Nuevo Vallarta is a June Fishing Paradise
Nuevo Vallarta’s location at the northern edge of Banderas Bay gives it a strategic advantage. The Pitillal and Ameca rivers flood during rains, creating debris lines that act as fish highways. These “trash lines”—where murky runoff meets deep blue water—become feeding zones for: You can book online here
-
Sailfish (aggressive surface strikers)
-
Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) (love floating debris)
-
Black & Blue Marlin (500+ lb giants)
-
Yellowfin Tuna (100–300 lbs at El Banco)
Pro Tip: Slow-trolling live bonito or skipping lures along these lines is deadly effective. When you see birds diving and boats clustered, you’ve found the honey hole! Looking for the best prices in Mexico?

Prime Fishing Grounds Near Nuevo Vallarta
While Puerto Vallarta anglers trek hours to El Banco or La Corbetena, Nuevo Vallarta boats reach these hotspots faster. Key areas include:
-
El Morro (15 miles out): Dorado and sailfish heaven.
-
Marietas Islands (Inshore): Roosterfish and jack crevalle.
-
El Banco (35 miles): Monster tuna and marlin.
Offshore Strategy: Live bait (skipjack, bonito) is king for marlin. For tuna, try chunking or cedar plugs.
June Weather & Conditions
Yes, it rains—but mostly in short, intense evening bursts. Mornings are often glassy calm, perfect for fishing. We never sail in unsafe weather, and our 38+ years of accident-free charters prove it.
Must-Try Techniques for June

Live Baiting: Free-line a live bonito for marlin.

What Makes Our Charters Stand Out?
